Re: Who shot down a Bf110 of NJG1 during the night 12-13/10/1941 over Belgium ?
Martin,
Compared the information you kindly supplied with the information I already had found : 2 additional squadrons were found to be active during that night.
The orb of 49 Squadron (Hampdens) mentions that several enemy aircraft were encountered :
AD896 : E.A. made attack without firing.
AE368 : Shadowed by ME.109 but lost it by evasion.
AE241 : Enemy aircraft seen after bombing.
X3135 : Twice followed by fighters.
AE227 : Enemy fighter recognised as Me.110 on return.
The orb of 455 Squadron (Hampdens) only mentions that 4 aircraft (target: Huls) returned safe, the Form 541 for this raid is not included in the TNA copy of the ORB AIR 27/1897.
Is any German document available regarding the crash of this Bf110 (especially any indication regarding at what hour it happened) ?
When we can compare this with the German claims on RAF aircraft the number of possibilities can be reduced again.
Best regards
Luc
